Plus my hubby’s squishy soft socks are finished and I am in love with them!!

This week also saw me casting on and casting off a test knit Joselyn Cowl which will be a Christmas gift as well…

That’s what’s off the needles this week, on the needles are my second pair of Opal Socks. These will be Circle Socks and are a Christmas gift for my mother in law. The pattern is written cuff down and I am modifying them for my preferred toe up method. I’m also using my brand new Signature Needle Arts 2.25mm circs (they just started making this size circs last month and I am tickled pink!!)

I’ve been making lots of progress on my socks that I posted last week.

I’m nearly finished my hubby’s socks and will be starting the ribbing soon. These socks are so soft and fluffy and I just love them! I almost hope hubby doesn’t like them so that I can wear them when we are watching TV as more of a slipper sock LOL

I’ve also turned the heels on my uncle’s socks and am making really good progress on them. These are my first pair knit for the Opal Socktoberfest Challenge. Gotta love the way the yarn stripes!

I also started a test knit for fingerless mitts last night and am nearly finished the first mitt. Love this cable look without using a cable needle! They will be nice an toasty with the DK yarn I’m using….

Well Socktober is going full swing here on my needles! I have socks here, there and everywhere!

I finished my Skyp the Tea Party socks last weekend and I love them! They fit perfectly and are so very bright and cheery!

I also made progress on my hubby’s first socks and both heels have now been turned. These socks are HUGE as hubby wears a 12 wide shoe!

And since Monday was Socktober 1st, I was able to cast on my first pair of Opal Socks for the Socktoberfest Opal Challenge. I bought 5 skeins of Opal yarn on sale intending to use them for Christmas gifts this year. I’m challenging myself to knit 3 of the skeins up during Socktoberfest!
